it's really bothering me that he has to bring all this up for why? Because he thinks that to clarify will make us more credible to TF? Yeah, right. Nothing will make us credible to TF.

Sure, we don't need to give them fuel for their bitterness towards exmembers who don't support them, but at the same time, they are going to have a campaign of hatred towards exmembers regardless (unless we are giving them money). If only just because they want current members to think if they leave, they'll turn out like us evil backsliders. If they don't demonize exmembers, heck, their current members might just think it's just fine safe to leave TF and live on their own.

What I'm saying is - I just don't know if it's worth it to bring poor Sarafina and her husband who have suffered so much already into this public scrutiny when he/she could communicate it privately. THEN, if Sarafina felt it necessary she could publicly correct anything that might be amiss. Since Mr/ms so and so thinks PR is so important, he/she should start with his/her self.
